Option one would work rather silly if you can Softweave SecureTech, FormFitting, Helmet, then either each set of a combined clothing set or just armor with free SecureTech, FF and Helmet. So I'm disagreeing with an interpretation that sounds like mass-munchkining. By the way, has anyone bothered asking the writers?
Also, stop discriminating against characters that take a decent Strength but not a massive Body.
